Hello,
I am writing a PHP script for help documentation on my website. The names of the articles and their respective category is is a XML file that is read by PHP using SimpleXML. For some reason when I upload and run the PHP file it gives me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function simplexmlelement() in /home/fcchafaq/public_html/help/index.php on line 18
The line it is referring to (18) is this:

PHP Code:

$cats = SimpleXMLElement('help.xml', null, true); 


I have the Intermediate PHP version. Does it support SimpleXML? Is there another way to do this?

I am not sure, but you could try the is_function function to find out.

Can you show us the full PHP code?

Shouldn't it be...

$cats = new SimpleXMLElement('help.xml', null, true);

I'm not sure either, so if you have any doubts, feel free to look at this link:
